Chapter 217: Zombie Dr. Sam

It was getting late, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and there were strange and terrifying sounds in the distance. At least 3 or more dangerous birds such as mutated bats, seabirds, and sparrows are flying in the air, fierce mutated beasts such as mice, wild cats, and wild dogs are infested on the ground, and some small but aggressive cockroaches, centipedes, and poisonous snakes are hidden in the dark corners, and thousands of zombies in the distance are attracted by the explosion and gather nearby.

In this environment, anyone who spends time alone outdoors is risking their own lives. And Mr. Lin, who had just finished his search of the mall, had filled up a box truck he had found in the underground parking lot and was driving down the avenue humming a tune. There are relatively few obstacles and zombies on this road, and cars are completely passable.

Lin Zaishan weighed it again and again and decided to return to John's Castle tomorrow. He had a whole night to pass the time, so he followed the strange voice to investigate. Today, that voice seemed to be very close to him, and it should not be more than 3 kilometers.

Perhaps because of the similar effect of sucking life energy to knock-powder, Lin Zaishan now feels that every cell of his body is full of euphoria, and his mind is full of comedy shots and funny images, just like watching a hilarious, bloody, fantastical black humor movie, and all the dangers have become an artistic element in his experience.

Suddenly, two female level 4 zombies rushed across the roadside, reaching him through the left and right windows. The car didn't stop in the slightest, dragging the two zombies on.

"Ladies, snatching the steering wheel is a very dangerous move." Lin Zaishan reminded the traffic laws "kindly", while enthusiastically absorbing their energy, and took advantage of the situation to get two pairs of bracelets of different styles. "Now, I'm guilty of being a thief."

At this moment, a huge bat lowers its height and crashes head-on into the windshield of the car.

Lin Zaishan unhurriedly picked up the crossbow-bow and fired the crossbow bolt from the hole in the glass. The crossbow arrows he uses are very ordinary, but before they are fired, he uses micro-manipulation abilities to adjust their attitude and increase the propulsion speed, and the shots are all critical to the target object, so the power is amazing. The bat was in unbearable pain after being shot continuously, and fell to a coconut tree next to it to rest, and a sixth-level mutant cat suddenly jumped out of the treetops, biting the bat's neck and falling into the grass together.

Lin Zaishan had already sensed the existence of the mutant cat, and seeing that the other party's attention was not on him, he continued to move forward with confidence and joy.

As we made a turn, the headlights illuminated a huge billboard in front of us. The billboard had already fallen down, and I don't know who had erected it on purpose, with a scrap car behind it. On the front of the billboard is a three-dot image of a beautiful woman that is still clearly recognizable. This beautiful woman has a hot body, a beautiful face, and a sexy posture, with lightly opened red lips and open small hands that seem to greet passers-by warmly.

Lin Zaishan, who was excited by life energy, couldn't help but stretch out his hand and "say hi" to this billboard beauty. The cars were all driving away, and he was reluctant to wave.

With a "clang", the car hit a cross-facing telephone pole, changed direction, and rushed diagonally into a large crack caused by the collapse of the road surface, and the body was wobbly stuck in it, unable to go up and down.

"I'll go! Whose prank is this? Lin Zaishan quickly jumped out of the car, looked around, and found that the crack was bottomless, and there was a car door erected on the opposite side of the crack, which read in red letters, "When you see a beautiful woman, beware of the crack."

Before Lin Zaishan could regain the meaning of these words, a thick tentacle or tongue suddenly stretched out from the crack, wrapped up the car, and dragged it into the abyss. He was quick to see and lifted the large backpack from the car in an instant.

"Who's down there? The outside world is very big, don't sit down there and watch the sky. Lin Zaishan reminded.

"Boom", a powerful flow of energy rushed from the crack to the ground. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately dodged and jumped into an abandoned car next to him.

A large cloud of viscous liquid erupted from the crack and splashed down on the surrounding area of dozens of square meters, including the abandoned car where Lin Zaishan was hiding. As soon as the liquid hits the body, it makes a rattling sound and billows white smoke, which is obviously extremely corrosive.

Lin Zaishan didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly jumped out and ran away.

//////

A few minutes later, he chased a horde of zombies behind his ass to the periphery of a campus-like complex.

"LAUC, ha, I actually went to the University of California, Los Angeles." Lin Zaishan stared at the logo on the wall with his eyes that had regained his night vision, grabbed a fifth-level zombie who chased him the most tightly with his backhand, and began to suck life energy wildly.

The rest of the zombies surrounded him, he threw away the dry bones of the fifth-level zombies, and said helplessly: "Everyone, you chased so far to send me your own life, how embarrassed I am, but I will be disrespectful." "Grab a female zombie's hair and make it face him, and he wants to get in close contact, only to find that the female zombie is missing half of her face, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, and there is a huge caterpillar crawling on her nose, exuding a mouth full of stench.

"I'll go! Your appearance is so disgusting, I really can't suck it. Lin Zaishan flew up and kicked the female zombie across the road.

At this time, there was a sudden roar from inside the campus, and it was that strange voice. After hearing this roar, the corpses surrounding Lin Zaishan instantly became "docile and well-behaved" as if they had received the king's order.

"What a lot of energy! It seems that that legendary super monster is here. ”

He pushed away the crowd of corpses standing beside him and jumped into the schoolyard. I didn't go far before I came to an H-shaped European-style building.

Lin Zaishan stopped and looked vigilantly.

With two "plop" sounds, two tall mecha personnel jumped from the top of the building's H, one left and one right formed a flanking posture against Lin Zaishan, and the assault rifle in his hand was aimed at his vital point.

"Kneel down and tie your hands, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin." A mech commanded in a very strange tone that sounded like a robot's synthesized voice.

"Strange." Lin Zaishan couldn't detect any fluctuations in the life energy of the two mecha personnel at all, all he sensed were mechanical and electromagnetic signals.

When the two mecha personnel saw that Lin Zaishan did not obey the order, they pulled the trigger, but no bullets came out. After a moment's hesitation, they put away their rifles, drew their long swords at their waists, and slashed through the forest and mountains with almost identical movements.

"The strength is not small, and the angle is tricky, but unfortunately there is no spirituality, and it is too easy to be recognized by masters." Lin Zaishan is fighting and volunteering to make professional reviews.

"Bang bang", the two mecha personnel flew out at the same time and kicked Lin Zaishan's crotch. He jumped over the top with ease, landed behind them, put his hands on their helmets, and delivered an electric shock.

The high-level mechs all have mechanisms to protect against external electric shocks, and the two mechs are not affected at all and continue to fight.

"Then let me use the Eye of Truth to see what kind of monsters you really are." He immediately activated the Eye of Truth ability, an advanced ability that consumes a lot of life energy and requires concentration.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zaishan had already scanned the two mecha personnel, "I'll go!" It turned out to be two empty shells, and I thought that inside the mecha was some kind of ability master who could hide his life breath. Since it's a robot, it's best to attack with electromagnetic induction. ”

"Plop", the two mecha fell to the ground at the same time.

//////

Lin Zaishan continued to search the campus following the strange voice. He noticed that many zombies on the campus were in a dumbfounded state after hearing the voice, and he thought that he couldn't send it to the door cheaply, so he absorbed life energy all the way and gradually approached a medical laboratory building.

Outside the building, four shell mechs patrolled, and one by one he overloaded them with electromagnetically induced energy. "If there are robots, there must be controllers."

Lin Zaishan continued his usual style of "walking involuntarily", climbed along the outer wall to the top floor, found a window and got in. He found that many of the labs and offices were still kept tidy, apparently cleaned by a human (or robot) on a regular basis.

"I didn't expect there to be survivors on the campus of the University of California, and if you guessed correctly, they must be some high-tech, high-IQ people."

Lin Zaishan carefully investigated and found that the experimental building was full of monitoring equipment that was still working, and he did not dare to break in. He recognized the strange sound coming from the basement and dodged the surveillance all the way to the corner of the basement doorway.

The basement seems to be very sturdy in its own right, and after the end of the world, it has been heavily fortified, with stones, steel plates, and special materials added to many corners, enough to keep most of the ferocious monsters in check. Not only is there surveillance at the entrance, but there is also a shooting hole, and it is worth paying attention to the fact that there is a gun-like device on the steel door at the end of the entrance corridor. Lin Zaishan could directly feel that this thing must be very dangerous.

He stared at it for a moment, making sure it was a laser-gun.

"Ha, laser-guns can't bother me. No matter how powerful the gun is, if it wants to be controlled, it needs an electromagnetic signal, and I just need to overload the electromagnetic energy of the gun. ”

The position where the laser-gun was located was just within the effective range of his current electromagnetic induction ability, and he instantly transmitted a large number of electromagnetic signals, and then tentatively stood in the center of the corridor, and the laser-gun that was originally rotating left and right did not react at this time.

Lin Zaishan knew that the opportunity could not be missed, and hurried to the door. It is a very thick stainless steel door that is also self-controlled. With a little effort, he burst open the steel door, and a hall full of colorful lights, with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of about 8 meters, appeared in front of him.

In the center of the hall is a sci-fi cage that houses a sturdy zombie about 3.5 meters tall. This is the largest zombie with the strongest life energy that Lin Zaishan has ever seen. This zombie has definitely reached level eight or even higher.

When the eighth-level zombie saw Lin Zaishan coming in, he was not desperate to pounce like other zombies, but stood in place with his hands down, and let out a roar at Lin Zaishan without hurry. The roar was not loud, but it was enveloped in a huge amount of sonic energy, and it rushed straight to his heart like an invisible cannonball.

Lin Zaishan had expected it, and he teleported 5 meters in parallel and dodged it lightly. The sonic cannonball struck the steel plate on the wall behind it, causing an instant dent.

The eighth-level zombie launched several sonic cannonball attacks in a row, but they were all dodged by Lin Zaishan without danger. It roared like thunder in the sky, and launched a bombardment with a ring of sound waves.

Lin Zaishan immediately activated the state of cascading and stopping, investigated the distribution characteristics of the sound wave energy, and then used the qi sense to form a reverse wave, which offset the power of the eighth-level zombie ring bombardment.

After a few minutes, the eighth-level zombie stopped roaring, and his arms were clutching the cage vigorously, as if he was about to rush out and smash Lin Zaishan with his fists and feet.

"Dude, I don't know why you're here, but we don't know each other, so why don't you introduce me to your cool cage? Looks much better than my cage on St. Carter's Island. ”

The eighth-level zombie bronze bell-like eyes stared at Lin Zaishan deadly, without a trace of human emotion and consciousness in his eyes, giving Lin Zaishan the feeling that he was being watched by an insect.

Suddenly, the color of the many lights on the ceiling of the hall changed dramatically, and they focused their light on Lin Zaishan and emitted an eerie energy.

"I'll go! Why is this feeling so familiar? Lin Zaishan in the spotlight felt a heart-piercing discomfort, and he suddenly remembered where he had encountered this feeling: cursed particles.

At this point, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and I was about to leave, but I found that an invisible energy bound me. Then, a circular hole cracked open in the ceiling, and a large mecha up to 4 meters tall slowly fell into the hall. Through the transparent mask, it can be seen that a person is hidden in the mecha.

//////

"Tell me, who are you? Don't fantasize about lying to deceive me, because I have a way to get a glimpse into your innermost thoughts, including dark desires that you yourself are not aware of, such as a level 8 zombie threesome. The man in the mech commanded. His voice is very deep, and his tone is full of arrogance and unbridled mockery, like those absolute big names in a movie.

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "I am a tourist who came all the way from China to the University of California. ”

"Don't you see that it's not the golden season for tourism?"

"Thank you for reminding me, I must complain about my dereliction of duty when I go back."

"You have a good mental quality, and you are still capable of lying to me calmly in such a situation. Looks like I should give you a little bit of color. The mecha man palmed his hand at Lin Zaishan, and the latter's body actually floated in the air.

"Air-controlled? That's a pretty good ability. Lin Zaishan praised.

"When I put the energy of my palm into your intestines, you won't be foolish." The man's other hand writhed in the air, and an invisible energy tore Lin Zaishan's belly, and he actually tried to disembowel.

"Who did you learn Thai massage from?" Lin Zaishan showed a pleasant and comfortable demeanor, and a powerful life energy naturally erupted from his body, successfully resisting the ill-intentioned massage of the mecha personnel.

"Oh? It seems that you still have some strength, stronger than most of the survivors I've seen. The mechist asked, "Which of the three parties are you, the Castle John, the Knights of the Last Days, and the Coyote Warband?" ”

"Which side do you think I'm better?" Lin Zaishan tried to use his qi sense and electromagnetic ability to destroy the lights that controlled him, but found that the energy transmitted was as if it had entered a black hole, so he casually dealt with it.

"It doesn't matter which side it is, because it's doomed to destruction." The man commanded, "Rachel, inject the prey with debilitating particles." ”

Two slender mechanical arms stretched out from the ceiling, holding a syringe, aimed at Lin Zaishan's neck.

"I'll go! It's a syringe again, why can't you people who play the black technology of the end times invent something else? "The psychological shadow caused by the last injection of curse particles to Lin Zaishan is not small. He struggled vigorously and tried all kinds of means to dodge, but to no avail. The robotic arm eventually succeeded in injecting the so-called debilitating particles into the body.

"Now it's time to dissect the mice." The mecha officer smiled, his invisible hand caressing Lin Zaishan's internal organs, "Well, it looks thin on the outside, but the bones and internal organs are very strong. Life energy reserves are extremely abundant, and you should have mastered a lot of abilities. Rachel immediately took 400 milliliters of his blood for testing. ”

"Understood!" The two slender manipulators took the needle and approached Lin Zaishan again.

“Fuck！ Can't you just change the way you collect blood to a gentler way? Also, don't pick so many at once! ”

"We've always used this method to collect blood, including for level 7 mutant beasts." The mecha man smirked, "Your life energy is so strong, it's going to be fine." ”

Lin Zaishan regained a smile on his face, "Scientist, now that I have completed the voluntary blood donation, can I leave?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll never be able to leave this lab for the rest of your life." The mecha said, "By the way, I'm Dr. Sam, a professor specializing in quantum medicine. ”

"I think I've read one of your papers, and it's full of ideas that are ahead of their time. The Internet jokingly calls you Dr. Mad Maniac. Lin Zaishan said calmly.

"Did my essay help you?" Dr. Sam asked with interest.

"How so? When I defended my master's thesis, I was criticized by an expert for 30 minutes because I had your thesis in the bibliography. He told me again and again that it was better not to engage in scientific research than to engage in pseudoscience. ”

"Ignorant!" Dr. Sam said angrily, "It's because you don't know how to appreciate my epoch-making creative insights. He cursed a few words and boasted to himself: "Before the end times, I will not be accepted by the mainstream of science; But the coming of the end times provided me with high-quality empirical materials and test subjects for my research. While others trembled and died under the threat of the end times, I made one amazing discovery after another! ”

"Looks like you've given yourself a Nobel Prize."

"What is the Nobel Prize! I want to use my name to name an award that has never been seen before or since—the Sam Prize for Science! I want all future generations of scientists to be proud of my recognition and the Sam Prize. ”

"Have you prepared any great inheritance?"

"I'm going to change the whole world with my great discoveries! I want to be the king and the god of this world! Dr. Sam spat and sprayed his mask all over the place.

"Mr. God, can you tell me more about your great discovery?"

"Okay, for your humble and studious sake, I'll give you a free science popularization." Dr. Sam walked up to Lin Zaishan and asked, "Have you ever seen the fragments of a meteorite explosion?" ”

"Of course I've seen it, and I've collected at least such a large piece."

"Oh? Is it? Tell me where this meteorite is now? ”

"In Huaxia, of course."

"That's a pity, if such a large meteorite were in my hands, it would be more powerful than the most powerful weapons in the hands of the various survivors at the moment."

"So your great discovery has something to do with meteorite fragments?"

"Clever! You're at least a little smarter than the worst Korean graduate I've ever had. A few days after the meteorite exploded, I made a judgment that the meteorite must contain a mystery of the end times, so I spared no effort to search for meteorite fragments. After all the hardships and deaths, I finally found a piece. ”

"I guess you must have eaten a few bites raw."

"Hmph, if I had only known how to satisfy my appetite like you, I would not have achieved such great things as I am now. As soon as I got the meteorite, I returned to the University of California lab and studied it again and again, day and night. Finally, I found out that the meteorite fragments contained 3 kinds of material that did not exist on Earth at all. ”

"It's normal for alien debris to contain material that isn't on Earth."

"You should upgrade your concept of matter!" Dr. Sam said with condescending mockery, "The three substances I have discovered are plain in appearance, but they have extremely peculiar properties: the first substance is called Sam particle1, which can carry and release huge life energy, and is the basic component for the formation of crystals, which is roughly equivalent to the qi in your traditional Chinese culture. ”

"I'm afraid your understanding of qi in our Chinese culture is biased."

Dr. Sam ignored Lin Zaishan's rebuttal and continued to say, "The second substance I found is called Sam particle 2. It's amazing that if we have enough Sam Particles1, it's possible to activate Sam P2 from an inert state. In its active state, Sam particles2 can sense the energy field of the physical world and human consciousness, and store the relevant information in themselves - in other words, the particles are programmable. ”

"Programmable particles?" It was the first time Lin Zaishan had heard this term, and he couldn't help but be a little convinced when he recalled his experience of being cursed by the Twelve Elders of the Templar. "Does this mean that we can control matter and life through our will?"

"Why stop there? As long as we master the secrets of Sam Particle 2, we can do all kinds of things that mortals dare not think of. I'm sure the growing popularity of the post-apocalyptic ability has to do with this particle. ”

"You mean that the basis for the ability to occur and operate is this programmable particle?"

"Not bad! As long as I observe and think carefully, I believe that even a fool like Eberstein will not have a hard time revealing the knowledge I have just spoken; But the crux of the matter lies in how to implement the programmed control of Sam particle 2. ”

"Can you tell me more about that?"

"Sorry, this is my trade secret!" Dr. Sam smiled mysteriously, and when he saw the disappointed look on Lin Zaishan's face, he then changed his words: "However, I can tell you the effect of programming control." Dr. Sam ordered, "Rachel, 3D projection!" ”

A life-size image of a grazing white rabbit is projected in front of Lin Zaishan.

Dr. Sam stared at the white rabbit and said, "Before the end of the world, the main ways we control life individuals are diet, drugs, physical radiation, self-learning and exercise, etc., and the basis of this change is protein molecules; The basis for change between generations is genetics. Life is like a highly detailed work of art, complex and fragile, while the process of change and control is slow and difficult. ”

He twisted his hands in the air, and the little white rabbit grew in size rapidly. "But after the end of the world, with the intervention of Sam Particle 2, everything was changed. Such particles do not need to pass through genes, and can even bypass the molecular logic of proteins and act directly on living organisms, transforming the building blocks of life in clusters. To put it simply, as long as you consume enough Sam Particles1 and Sam Particles2, you will automatically mutate, even at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. This is the black technology logic of the rapid mutation of life after the end of the world. ”

Lin Zaishan listened carefully and asked, "But the mutations of the creatures in the end times are basically not something that you can choose, where are your so-called programmable features?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm about to get to the point. Through my extraordinary intelligence, I was able to control the Sam Particle2 programmically - so that I could control the mutation and evolution of life on my own will, just as I would with those shell mechs. For example, inject this cute little rabbit with programmed particles, and then drive it to evolve according to a pre-designed program. After only 3 short weeks, guess what this cute little white rabbit has become? ”

"What does it look like? Did you become a bunny girl? ”

"You can't imagine it!" Dr. Sam ordered Rachel to show another projection, a giant that looked like a seventh-level bat, with two blood-red eyes that glowed terrifyingly, and a pair of huge wings on its back near the top of its head, which flew into the air from time to time, and preyed on birds fiercely. "You can't tell this is that cute little bunny, do you?" Dr. Sam laughed.

"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan was taken aback, "You're not going to tell me this thing is still alive, are you?" ”

"Of course alive, and alive and well. If I'm not mistaken, it should now be consolidating its jungle supremacy in the northern mountains. ”

Lin Zaishan's gaze shifted to the eighth-level plus zombie in the cage, "So, this handsome guy is also your masterpiece after programming control?" ”

"Not bad. Since rabbits can be controlled, I certainly have reason to believe that zombies can also be programmed. But when I experimented, I found them to be much more difficult to control than beasts. Fortunately, this kind of test object is almost inexhaustible, and it is all over the street. Over the past 3 months, I've experimented with thousands of zombies. The co-workers, students, and strangers around the University of California who taunted me, as well as tourists like you, who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, were programmed by me. ”

"Have you finally achieved effective control over the zombies?" Lin Zaishan asked excitedly.

"I've found that trying to control zombies is a wrong way of thinking. Why should I control zombies? Why should I go to the trouble of restoring their so-called humanity? If you abandon these paranoia, the programming intervention of zombies is reduced to a high degree of fun and fun. ”

When Lin Zaishan heard this, he felt very bad.

Dr. Sam pointed to the eighth-level zombie in the cage and said, "This is my former colleague, the one who attacked me the most academically - Professor White. This guy not only has a higher position than me before the end of the world, but is more famous than me, and even after becoming a zombie, he is more powerful than me. I have taken him as the main subject, and have now made him unrecognizable, ugly, and unhuman, according to my will: I have deliberately shrunk the North American rooster of which he is proud into small peanut seedlings. ”

The eighth-level zombie let out a roar when he heard this, and the hall was buzzed.

Lin Zaishan asked worriedly, "Do you know that you are creating a corpse king?" ”

"What about the Corpse King? I've injected enough programmable particles into it that at the sound of my command, they will drain its life energy in a short period of time, and at that point, it will be nothing more than a pile of carrion. ”

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he heard this.

Dr. Sam said, "I'm sorry, I forgot there's a third substance I didn't talk about, I call it Sam particle 3." I'm willing to bet that there are earth-shattering secrets hidden in it, and if these secrets can be revealed, maybe we can become gods as individuals, and humanity as a species will be promoted to god-level civilization, so as to achieve eternal life and even lead to the realm of omniscience and omnipotence. But unfortunately, I still know almost nothing about it so far. ”

That's when Rachel reported, "Dr. Sam, the results of the blood analysis are out, please take a look." ”

Dr. Sam said, "I've looked at it with a programmable particle control system, and that's good! His gaze stayed on Lin Zaishan's body, as if he was looking at a little white rabbit or a big mouse.

"Why do I feel like you're having bad intentions?" Lin Zaishan asked vigilantly.

"Congratulations. Based on the results of the blood analysis just now, you are the best person to perform my post-apocalyptic survival evolution game with programmable particles so far. ”

"No, I don't want to be a guinea pig!"

"Ha, it's useless for you to cut your throat, so let's obey obediently."
